We were all warned this morning about being overwhelmed with
information, and that was no lie. There
was so much that was covered in such a short amount of time, and everything
that was such a wonderful refresher of some of the basics of cosmetology.
The basics covered today were the principles of design,
ranging from shape to lines. Although
these are not new concepts, they are concepts that always need refreshing to
ensure better services.
The haircut that was covered today was a simple one length
bob, but it was a totally different take on what I normally do for a one length
bob. There are so many nuances about the
bob that we have to account for, and guest consultation is so important to
figure out what works best for the guest.
The hardest part of class today was being open to a new
concept. In my practice at the salon, I
generally don’t section as much as we did in class. However, I learned that proper sectioning
(accounting for changes in the head shape and hair movement) is essential for
completing the proper bob. After doing
the bob the same way for almost 5 years, it is interesting to be able to take
the skills I have learned in today’s class back to the salon.
I have already decided who I get to practice on, and I can’t
wait! I look forward to another day
tomorrow.
